“Phenomenal”

Exceptional tour, comfortable vehicle, highly knowledgeable guide, and memorable spots! I recommend lattes at the museum and eel in the town. If you’ve got a day to check out the most important battlefield in Japan, go with Koki!

Koki N.

Hi Julian, Thank you very much for your wonderful comments. I hope you were able to sense the presence of the young Miyamoto Musashi during your visit. Thank you for choosing Sekigahara as the final stop on your trip to Japan. The Sekigahara area is home to numerous historical sites, including Hikone Castle, a National Treasure. Please do come visit me again. I look forward to seeing you again in the near future. Koki

“Super friendly & helpful Koki”

We initially booked Koki for a half day tour of Kyoto following our arrival in Japan the previous day. He was so engaging, personable, informative & helpful that we booked him for the whole of the next day which we had left free. I would wholly recommend Koki to you & offer my thanks to him once again in this review.

Koki N.

Hi Colin, Thank you very much for your wonderful comments. We had a very relaxing time in the tea room. Please come to Japan again.　 I would love to show you around our wonderful place in Japan. Koki

“One day highlights of Kyoto: Fushimi-Inari (South Kyoto), Gion & lunch, Golden Pavilion (North West Kyoto) then back for sunset at Yasaka Jinja. ”

Koki was in contact with us from the start and very proactive in suggesting routes & things to see and asked us for ideas to incorporate into the day. He met us at the hotel & led us out on our day of discovery in Kyoto. It was a long day but well paced & we had a great stop for a sushi lunch in Gion before going North to the Golden Pavilion. All-in-all a good day. Koki was very informative throughout with lots of interesting & useful information about the sights, Kyoto & Japan more generally. He is a former schoolteacher so you can be sure that he has prepared for the day! Chris & Family

Koki N.

Hi Christopher & Family, Thank you so much for your kind words. I also had a wonderful time exploring Kyoto with the wonderful your family. Kyoto has so many sights to see. Please do come back to Kyoto if you have the chance. I look forward to seeing you again in the near future. Koki
